    Yes, good article, although it continues to make my blood boil. In my opinion both parties' role in changing from the original FTTP design to FTTN (predominately) and later FTTC will go down in history as one of the greatest coughkups in political history... Labour because they couldn't really...

    Anyone received online mall points lately?

    I'm afraid I've found QF so hit and miss about points via Qantas Mall I rarely bother these days. It's not helped by the QF staff manning the FF Email Address being obviously overworked and pretty indifferent to small points claims (they just don't respond regularly).

    Went and bought some Cookoothama Limited Release Botrytis Semillon... love stickies and need the points (somewhat desperately) to get Mrs Paddy and I home from Europe Jul 2019... the 8,000 bonus makes it very easily to swallow the full price. :D

    J & F Award Availability to/from Europe in peak times

    Thanks for the advice. Pleased to say I snagged 2 x J/F Awards on Cathay SYD-FRA next June. :) 20,000 points cheaper flying into FRA than, say CDG or LHR. A puzzling, and annoying thing, I found is that on the Calendar, after selecting all the travel classes, QF was showing only economy class...

    J & F Award Availability to/from Europe in peak times

    Appreciate the quick responses, and had forgotten about looking for availability from Melbourne or Brisbane. Puzzled that there's a fair bit more availability if you look at Multi-City i.e. SYD-HKG and then HKG-AMS but the price for those two legs is a fair bit more than a SYD-AMS is (and...

    J & F Award Availability to/from Europe in peak times

    I’m planning a trip with Mrs Paddy to Europe next year, departing Sydney for Western Europe 1st half June, returning from Eastern Europe 1st half July. Since last travelling I’ve dropped from WP to LTS (sob) and find when booking 2 J and/or F Award Seats I get 2nd bite of the cherry after all...

    Is Qantas Epicure good value?

    Have found over the last few years that I rarely buy Qantas Whines without Bonus Points... try and price match against Dan Murphys et al... but geez it's a good way to get points!

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Thanks for the tip QF WP... with the $50 off going around now (because they are Qantas Whine :)) managed to spend $240 for 11,000 points which is good, and they threw in a dozen Pinot Noir! Love 'em!

    Can't speak highly enough about ABB. Was on Telstra FTTN and over the two weeks the performance deteriorated, I had a 2 day outage, and their offshore support was borderline incompetent. Switched to ABB and they have lived up to expectations and support (onshore) has been superb.

    Warren, New Jersey; Newark, NJ; New York City, NY- Multiple questions about travel experiences

    A couple of things: $150 to $300 per night sounds about right. Please don't stay in a Howard Johnsons - the negative reviews are there for a reason, sadly. Best Western is a good, economical chain often. I think you have quite an area to look at for accomodation - a lot within 30min drive - and...

    Warren, New Jersey; Newark, NJ; New York City, NY- Multiple questions about travel experiences

    It's been a while, quite a while, but I lived in Somerset NJ - 15 miles from where you're going and I have travelled a lot around NJ. Suggestions: I'd try to fly into EWR not JFK - not as congested and I think fewer delays, etc. Having said that, flying right through to JFK on QF, at a good...

    International Driving Permit for Ireland

    Well I'm puzzled as I've rented cars in France a number of times, and have never been asked for anything except my NSW DL... despite what the RACV say about an IDP being 'Required' there.
